Chapter 80: Blind date
The next morning, just as Meng Lang finished dressing up and was about to go out for an appointment, an uninvited guest came to the house.
Director Tao!
In other words, Deputy Director Tao!
This is a frequent customer, and he usually likes to visit the door to maintain the foundation of cooperation between the two sides when he has nothing to do.
Of course, Director Tao came this time, definitely not to chat, but to talk to Meng Lang about the first round of broadcast rights of "Battle King EX" with sincerity.
Meng Lang was in a hurry to go on a blind date, and he didn't have time to go around in circles with Director Tao, so he asked bluntly: "What's that...... Director Tao, can you spare the schedule for me? Forget about the beginning of the school season, it will be very bad for us to delay it for too long. ”
Director Tao spread his hands helplessly: "Why is the beginning of the school season late? Your drama will be filmed at least at the end of the year, just one or two months later than the Spring Festival file......
A month or two?
Meng Lang can't wait to spray Director Tao to death, is one or two months a short time? After delaying for so long, the children's New Year's money has already been spent, so who else will he sell his spinning top?
Why does Meng Lang have to emphasize the premiere of the Spring Festival? Isn't it just that after the spinning top burst into flames during that time, children can use the New Year's money to buy toys!
If it is after the Spring Festival, when the next school season begins, I will buy school bags, stationery, new clothes, and new shoes, but I won't buy toys.
Just starting school and yelling to buy toys, this kind of child is ignorant at first glance, most of them have not been beaten!
Smart children know that only on New Year's birthdays or Children's Day will the request to buy toys not anger their parents.
You can also get it on a regular basis......
But the success rate of the claim is completely tied to the income level of the parents!
Only in the three points of Chinese New Year, birthday, and June 1st, the success rate of claiming can exceed 90%!
Of course, this refers to asking for parents, and if the child has pocket money, it is a different matter.
But in the first few days of school......
Child, Uncle Meng advises you to be kind!
The mood of parents in the first few days of school was not good, after all, tuition fees are also a lot of expenses.
Meng Lang is very kind!
If "Battle King EX" is premiered in the school season, there is a high probability that the ratings will not be affected, after all, children can still watch TV when they come home from school.
But it's hard to say about derivatives.
How good it is to put it in the Spring Festival stalls!
The family is happy to watch TV, just change the channel to see "Battle King EX"! While the parents won a bunch of change playing mahjong, the child mentions that he wants to spinning top, so can the parents say no?
Of course, it's another matter if your parents lose money.
Whether it is winning or losing, parents will always be in a better mood than usual during the Chinese New Year. In addition, Chinese people have the habit of "buying and buying for the New Year" since ancient times, and it is normal to buy a spinning top for children.
Meng Lang was moved by his good intentions.
If the children knew how much hard work Uncle Meng had behind this schedule, they would probably be moved to tears.
Parents ...... too Well, this one......
In short, Meng Lang's attitude was very firm.
Money or not money is a trivial matter, and the Spring Festival file must be given to "Battle King EX"!
As long as he is given the Spring Festival schedule, even if the price is a little lower, it is acceptable. If he doesn't give a schedule, no matter how high the price is, he won't be willing to sell it.
Director Tao was helpless.
He also reported to the station that Meng Lang's "Battle King EX" is a new drama that the entire industry is very optimistic about, and it stands to reason that he can free up the Spring Festival file for him to premiere......
But the director said:
"No! No! Get out!"
Jiangchuan Children's Channel has already set the Spring Festival schedule, and the drama that has been set, although there is no guaranteed ratings for Meng Lang's drama, but the background of the investor is deep!
The director also said that he couldn't afford to offend.
Even the director can't afford to offend, let alone the little deputy director Tao.
Therefore, no matter how optimistic he is about Meng Lang's new drama, Director Tao can't promise to arrange the premiere of the Spring Festival file for him.
"Xiao Meng, can't you think about it anymore?"
Director Tao finally said: "We are very sincere, the opening season will give you half a month in advance of the golden time to warm up the publicity, the price can also be negotiated, to ensure that you are satisfied." ”
"It's not a matter of sincerity......"
How much money can the broadcast rights be sold? 200,000 yuan for a single episode is only about 10 million when converted, and Meng Lang can laugh out loud if he can have a net income of 5 million after paying taxes.
Is this what Meng Lang wants?
No matter how high the ratings are, even if they become the king of the year? Jiangchuan Children's Channel can't give Meng Lang the future he wants, and it is reasonable for the old couple to break up.
Director Tao left disappointed.
Meng Lang glanced at the Rolex that he had just bought on his wrist to fill the façade, and found that the time had reached eleven twenty p.m.!
Suffered!
He grabbed Lao Meng's Mercedes-Benz car keys, rushed out of the house like a gust of wind, and drove to the agreed place.
The two-kilometer journey took Meng Lang ten minutes. Find a parking space...... It took twenty minutes!
By the time he touched the reserved seat in the western restaurant, the time had already reached 12:03 p.m.!
It's okay! The other party hasn't arrived yet!
Meng Lang thinks it's understandable, girls, they must dress up carefully before going out, and it takes a lot of time to comb your hair and makeup and pick out clothes......
Before the target came, Meng Lang recruited the waiter.
"Have a cappuccino!"
"Sorry sir, we only have soy milk here!"
Meng Lang was surprised: "Isn't this a Western restaurant? Why don't you even have coffee?"
The waiter was helpless: "The boss likes ......"
Ahem!
This boss is also an interesting person.
Soy milk is soy milk, and Meng Lang doesn't pick it.
He didn't like any of these anyway, and his favorite drinks were always Coca-Cola and White Coke.
Don't ask, ask is fun!
Meng Lang, who was waiting for the target to appear, picked up the menu on the table and checked it out when he was bored.
This one is incredible!
Mapo tofu, shredded fish-flavored pork, diced kung pao chicken, boiled fish fillet, shredded pork with chili pepper......
This is a Sichuan restaurant, right?
He summoned the waiter again, pointed to the menu and asked, "This is a Western restaurant?"
The waiter nodded.
"Yes, sir!"
"What the hell are these dishes, and why do they give me a sense of Sichuan restaurant?"
The waiter spread his hands again: "No way!
I'll go!
Meng Lang couldn't help it, and complained: "Your boss is sick, right? The name of the restaurant is a string of English, and it is also marked as a Western restaurant, and it turns out to be all these bells and whistles?"
"The boss said that no one comes to eat with a Chinese name, and there are more customers with a foreign name. As for the western restaurant...... You can take a look at this sentence!"
The waiter flips to the first page of the menu, and there is a "message from the store manager" on it.
"This store is an authentic Jiangchuan City Western 1280KM Catering Cultural Center, in order to facilitate the understanding of customers, it is referred to as a Western restaurant!"
Meng Lang took it, and he was convinced.
Don't say anything, just eat and you're done.
Just as Meng Lang was holding the menu and preparing to choose his favorite dishes, he was tapped on the shoulder from behind.
Turning around, the greasy uncle grinned and said, "Mr. Meng~!
Meng Lang: "......"
He seems to have fallen for it.
